SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Pepin County Sheriff's Office at pepincountysheriff.org (page title: Pepin County Jail Roster Lookup, WI, Inmate Search), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
